Great console with terrible drifting controllers..

I recently purchased a PS5 and have had the Xbox SX for several months. These are just my thoughts on what you might want to consider when deciding which console to buy. First, the elephant in the room here would be Sony’s Exclusives vs Microsoft’s Exclusives and Game Pass. Sony has some great titles, but some of their franchises are getting a little old. With Microsoft, they have the same aging problem with some of their franchises, but they have one huge advantage! With Gamepass, you get the majority of Microsoft’s 1st party titles on day 1, included in the subscription. While looking through the store on each console, I noticed something very interesting… about half the Optimized for PS5 titles, are actually free on the Xbox. This is a big problem, because many of these games are $40 - $70 and my Gamepass for the year was only $80! Hardware The PS5 certainly punches above its weight class in terms of performance, but I’m honestly a little puzzled as to why they made it so much larger than the Xbox Series X. The controller itself is nice, but the triggers are the only new thing. Overall the hardware is decent. The new Xbox has a much better design to it and it’s got a fairly small foot print, so it is pretty cool. The controller on the other hand hasn’t really added anything new, but it is solid. This is certainly an area that MS has an advantage. Interface This generation they’re more alike than different. Microsoft put their settings bar on the left, Sony put theirs down the bottom. You have to press the X or the PS symbol to get to those bars. Ending programs is just a simple click of the menu button on the running game and selecting quit or close. When it comes to multitasking though, this is another area that the Xbox is currently ahead as Sony really hasn’t integrated their solution to multiple games running at once yet. Online With Sony you’re paying for pretty much just the right to be able to play your games online. Sure you get a few games a month, but they’re not always the games you want, that’s for sure. This service can be had for $40 a month on sale. With Microsoft, you can get Live, which functions pretty much identical to PSN. But that’s where the game pass comes in, for $120 a year ($80 if you catch a sale), Or you could go for Game Pass Unlimited, which also includes Game pass for PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming, for about $160 to $200. This doesn’t even cover the quality aspect of each platform. Overall Microsoft’s surprisingly dominant position, in some aspects, of this generations consoles has put us in unfamiliar territory. There’s actually a compelling reason to own both consoles again. Sony for their exclusives and Microsoft for their value. The one thing I will say though, I would recommend waiting for the PS5 and grabbing the series X, until more of Sony’s exclusives come out. I still recommend getting both as it is the smart way to save money on a bunch of games, but wait until the PS5 is more reasonably priced.

Its ok. I think its kinda over hyped. Doesn’t feel like its that much of a upgrade over my ps4 pro. I liked the ps4 controller a lot, the ps5 controller is fine. The triggers are neat but gets annoying fast. Im glad i didnt pay ebay prices for it.

Best system yet. Would be nice to have aftermarket controllers

Good product. But best buy shipped it late. But despite that everything is good

Lit asf but Playstation plus should be free and it would be alot better

Of course the ps5 is always going to have a good review it’s the PlayStation

Very fast console, fans make a ton of noise though, that’s the only downfall

Good console it does take hard punishment but it still works fine.

The dreaded error code CE-108255-1 has made owning a PS5 a bust so far. It works fine with the PS4 games but can't even get PS5 games to load. Its like having a Ferrari that you can't drive. Luckily Playstation finally agreed to replace it. If I could do it all over, I'd wait until the work out the bugs

Great console but it’s really loud after only 10 minutes of play and it gets really hot for no reason, I have two fans blowing directly at it to keep it cool, luckily I have the protection plan for it

Storage sucks but overall step up from ps4. External only saves ps4 games

This was my first gaming console ever and It's been a good experience so far

Nice updates to the system makes it enjoyable to play.

It was surprisingly easy to get and I’m glad I did cause I love this game bro

It's great how best buy items never come broken or defective most of the time

Good console but it's really ugly. Can't wait for more games to come out.

Excellent product, definitely will be recommending to friends and family.

Not too different from the ps4, just had to get this purchase out the way

good product, but the people working were rude at the pickup
